Swiss President Johann Schneider-Ammann accompanied by some 40 investors is scheduled to visit Iran on 26-28 February with an aim to expand Bern-Tehran economic relations following the removal of sanctions, announced the French-language news website of Radio and Television of Switzerland (RTS).
�The Swiss industrialists who intended to accompany Schneider on this visit were so much more in numbers, but only 35-40 of them managed to be included in the economic delegation headed for Tehran,� said the report.
Philippe�Welti,�president�of the�Swiss-Iranian Chamber of Commerce, said of the upcoming trip, �what really matters here is the actual significance of this visit. The important issue is the revival of relations with Iran at an industrial and then politicial�level. The visit has been planned at a good time.�
In April, a senior Swiss economic delegation, led by former Swiss ambassador to Tehran, Livia Leu, traveled to Iran for exploratory talks. She had said Switzerland held a good position in its relations with Iran and could compete with other countries in this regard. The visit had been made prior to the finalization of Iran�s nuclear agreement.
